Panjshiri resistance

The Panjshiri resistance refers to the armed groups and local fighters in Panjshir Valley, Afghanistan, who oppose Taliban control. Historically, the valley's rugged terrain offers strategic advantage, enabling defenders to mount effective resistance. After the Taliban's resurgence in 2021, Panjshiri fighters, including former military and local volunteers, sought to resist Taliban advances, aiming to preserve their autonomy and security. The resistance combines guerrilla tactics, knowledge of the terrain, and local support to challenge the Taliban's authority, making Panjshiri resistance a symbol of regional defiance and a complex struggle for Afghan sovereignty.
